Your Questions Answered - How to become a Makeup Artist
Hi Eman,
First off I'd like to say your videos and tutorials are great. I'm 18 and living in Calgary Alberta. All my life I've wanted to become a makeup artist. I'm hoping to go to a school here called Artists Within. I was wondering if you could give me any advice towards becoming a makeup artist? Also, what school did you attend before you became a makeup artist? Any tips or insight would help me greatly...
Thank you for your email. I'm glad you are enjoying my video tutorials!I got into makeup kind of on a whim. I was really into fashion and it then turned to makeup. I started to learn and practice a lot on my own. And then I decided to go to school. I did a one year program and got my makeup artistry certificate.
I did a lot of volunteer (free) work at first to get experience then I started getting paid work. Building your portfolio is the most important thing. Its what represents you and your work. The better your portfolio, the more work you will get.
Here's some advice and tips:
Do makeup as much as you can,be creative - don't be afraid to try new things, read and research about makeup, styles, brands, techniques - never stop learning.
Network, network, network! Meet as many people as you can in the industry. That's how you'll get jobs and build a clientele. Remember that being a makeup artist is a business.
Well I hope this was helpful :) Good luck with everything!

Gaga for Natalie
I think there's a little bit of Gaga in all of us. In a shoot I did recently, we wanted to bring out the Gaga in our model Natalie. Photographer Tiffany Alzono http://www.tiffanyalonzo.com/
and her assistant Jill did an amazing job at styling the shoot. She captured the softer side of gaga and the crazier side.
For makeup and hair - I started with a softer look, perfecting the models skin and defining her features. The look worked well with the softer lighting and background. The second look I did a strong black cupid lip with lots of liner to define the models eyes. I went with stronger makeup so it can stand out against the accessories we used in the shots.
Check out some of the images from the shoot below:
